STN-28 Glowing Cat Ear Over-Ear Headset Blue (V8541BL_V) Review
Introduction
The STN-28 Glowing Cat Ear Over-Ear Headset in Blue (Model Number: V8541BL_V) promises a fun and functional listening experience. With its eye-catching design and advertised features, it’s marketed towards a younger audience, particularly those interested in cosplay or simply a bit of playful flair. But does it deliver on its promises? After spending several weeks testing this headset in various scenarios, I’m ready to share my thoughts.
Features
The headset boasts several key features: the immediately noticeable glowing cat ears with LED lights, Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity for wireless listening, an AUX input for wired connection to devices lacking Bluetooth, and TF card support for direct music playback. The adjustable headband and soft earcups promise comfortable extended use. Let’s delve into each of these aspects.

Performance
The Bluetooth 5.0 connection proved reliable throughout my testing, with minimal dropouts even at a reasonable distance from my paired device. The sound quality was surprisingly good for a headset in this price range. The 40mm drivers deliver decent bass response and clear highs, making it suitable for a variety of music genres. However, at higher volumes, some distortion was noticeable. The LED lights on the cat ears are bright and add a fun touch, although the colour options may be limited.
Comfort was another area where the headset performed well. The adjustable headband and soft earcups made for comfortable listening sessions, even for extended periods. The foldable design is also a plus for portability and storage. The AUX input and TF card functionality proved convenient for use with devices without Bluetooth.
I used this headset for various purposes including gaming, listening to music, and making calls. For gaming, the sound quality was acceptable; however, it would not be my first choice for a high-intensity gaming experience requiring pinpoint audio accuracy. The microphone quality was sufficient for casual calls, but might fall short for professional use. Listening to music was a pleasant experience; sound was clear and reasonably balanced.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Stylish design, comfortable fit, reliable Bluetooth connection, decent sound quality, multiple connectivity options (Bluetooth, AUX, TF card), foldable design.
- Cons: Some audio distortion at higher volumes, microphone quality suitable for casual use only, limited color options for the LED lights.
Final Verdict
The STN-28 Glowing Cat Ear Over-Ear Headset (V8541BL_V) is a fun and surprisingly capable headset. While it might not compete with high-end audiophile headphones, it offers great value for its price, particularly for its target audience. The combination of a playful design, comfortable fit, and decent sound quality makes it a solid choice for casual listening and those who appreciate a bit of fun in their accessories. I would definitely recommend this headset to younger users, cosplay enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a stylish and affordable Bluetooth option.
